so my question is....how was that time in ur life when you were 17? whatd you do? do you regret it? the more details the better, thanks guys ^_^ |
I couldn't wait. I didn't just move out, I moved out to another country's university even (though the US is big, so just moving to another state works). Went home for Christmas and a few days during the summer. It's great living away from home at that age, even if you can't afford all the stuff, it's fun and if on campus you're always surrounded by other students instead of living in some boring neighbourhood.
Leave GF if not doing so would force you not to go to the college you picked. As for the college itself, well, read around about the various ones, how good they are in the field you are interested in, whether you like where they are, and whether you can actually get into them (and the price, even if you're on a grant, paying those back later on isn't much fun).
P.S. Allow your parents to pay for stuff partly, if they can. It's good to have a part-time job so that you are not always expected to report on what you spend. But going to college also involves going to class and not being too tired to learn anything.
P.P.S. It's a great age to be actually! And so is live in college.
